Gloss Angeles

Sarah Michelle Gellar is in the studio! From Buffy and Cruel Intentions to Scooby-Doo and beyond, she helped define an entire era, and she’s here to talk beauty, her go-to products, and aging. We dive into how her relationship with beauty has changed over the years, her most nostalgic ’90s and early-2000s product obsessions, and what it was really like being an It Girl before social media existed. Sarah also opens up about raising Gen Z kids in the age of skincare TikTok and how she keeps beauty from becoming an obsession. And yes — we talk Buffy, including what finally made her say yes to revisiting the series and what fans can expect next.

Glams, today we’re joined by Sarah Hindsgaul, a two-time Emmy–nominated hair designer from Denmark best known for creating the iconic looks of Stranger Things (seasons 1–5). We talk about the products she’s loving right now, her earliest ideas of beauty growing up in Denmark, her new haircare brand Hindsgaul Hair (out 1/12), and just how emotional it was to say goodbye to Stranger Things—and all of those unforgettable hairstyles. Sarah takes us behind the scenes of some of the show’s most memorable moments, including the decision to shave Millie Bobby Brown’s head in season one, the toughest creative calls across five seasons, and some fun on-set dynamics. Plus, a rapid Hellfire round covering fan theories, favorite characters, and a certain Purple Rain moment.

We’re kicking off the year by manifesting what’s next: the dream guests we want on the pod (Sara is calling in the Heated Rivalry boys, while Kirbie has her sights set on myth-buster Dr. Mike), plus our predictions for where the beauty industry is headed, from stress-busting supplements to the oral-care glow-up we all need. We’re also aligning on our 2026 beauty goal: prioritizing hair and scalp health! In our latest WOYF (what’s on your face), Sara shares why she’s loving the Biossance Growth Factor Firming Anti-Aging Moisturizer, while Kirbie breaks down her current obsession with the Soocas toothbrush and water flosser. Plus, we unpack the biggest beauty headlines of the week, including Rare Beauty’s expansion to Ulta Beauty and what’s really going on with Pat McGrath Labs.

Laney Crowell, founder and CEO of Saie, joins us to talk about what it really takes to build a Gen Z–beloved brand in today’s beauty landscape. We get into Saie’s growth and what’s stayed the same (and changed) since day one, what sets Saie apart at Sephora, and the products that keep customers coming back. Laney also shares how she thinks about TikTok virality, community-building (including Saie on Substack), and what’s next for the brand. Finally, we dive into CitySet, Saie’s new alcohol-free setting spray designed to lock in makeup while keeping skin feeling hydrated and fresh.

There were so many buzzy moments this year, but we whittled it down to seven, with help from you, our Glams. From rhode’s $1.2B acquisition to the rise of expert-led brands and makeup artists, this year proved the industry is changing fast. We get into the K-beauty boom, why kids and teens are shaping the future of beauty, and how MAHA-adjacent misinformation influenced everything from sunscreen discourse to beef tallow skincare. We also pour one out for the brand shutdowns that shocked us this year. Tune in for the highs, the lows, and what it all means for 2026.

This episode is brought to you by CLEARSTEM. We’ve got an acne masterclass for you, Glams. CLEARSTEM founders Danielle Gronich and Kayleigh Christina join us to talk about the breakouts that follow you well into adulthood and why the usual “just drink more water” advice isn’t cutting it. Danielle shares what she sees with her clients having started San Diego Acne Clinic, Kayleigh breaks down the surprising food and supplement triggers you may not know about, and together they bust the myths that make acne feel so confusing. They even have a nifty ingredient tracker to help!

We’re also chatting about their BOUNCEBACK Repair Serum, which 250 of our listeners had the opportunity to test through Gloss Angeles Confidential. They explain the gap it fills, who it’s for, and how they created it. You can use GLOSSANGELES for 15% off your order at CLEARSTEM.com.

This week, we kick things off talking about what a joy it was to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and also how weird our Spotify Wrapped was. We bring back WOYF and share a product from a recent guest that’s doing Sara’s skin good and a teeny set of brushes that Kirbie can’t get enough of. Then: what is really going on with asbestos testing in talc products? There’s a lot of misinformation online. We explain what’s actually happening and discuss several nuances related to it.

Kirbie kicks things off with a full debrief of our favorite pipsqueak herself, Sabrina Carpenter, and her Short n’ Sweet tour! Then we dive into influencer Whitney Wagner Hartley’s “Marked Safe from MAHA” campaign and unpack what MAHA actually is, why it’s tied to anti-vax/anti-science rhetoric, and how her pledge is pushing beauty and wellness brands to publicly reject that messaging and commit to sharing inclusive, science-backed health info instead. Will brands and retailers catch on? Finally, we get into the lash economy: traditional strip lashes and classic black mascara are on the decline, while “ghost lashes,” underlash clusters, lash serums, and skinified formulas are having a moment — plus the rise of tubing, brown, and burgundy/glitter “accent” mascaras that are quietly reshaping what a lash wardrobe looks like in 2025.

This year, we’re breaking down the deals you really need to hone in on! With rising costs of products, a 20% discount could save you from surging prices due to inflation and keep your gift giving as cost-effective as possible. And many brands are offering more than that. 

But first, we share a report on the top aesthetic global treatments based search — did the results surprise you? Then, we share a variety of deals from Macy’s on brands like MAC Cosmetics & Kiehl’s, the very useful Hulken bag, Shark and Dyson beauty tools, our favorite towels, a smart steamer, and more.
